I am a conservative republican I teach Texas History and will show cnn 10 sometimes. I watch it ahead of time to make sure they don't get political. Heck sometimes they even talk about the economy and how bad it is. It is not as bad as CNN's main broadcasts. It's mostly educational and it in no way is indoctrination IMO. I get peoples concern but go watch a few and you will see it's not crazy leftist liberal news or propaganda.
Almost all of the news about Israel has been pro Israel but if you look hard enough people can find something left leaning about anything and I am the worst at that.

What most conservatives see on social media about schools pushing the gay pride and trans inclusion crap does not happen at most schools in Texas especially rural schools.

They'd never show Prager U in classrooms. They're not supposed to teach them the truth. They're supposed to indoctrinate.

My brother in christ, Prager U is indoctrination.

Let's be honest here. What you're really saying is that grooming is OK as long as the school is grooming them to think the way you do.

---

Lol, and you don't?

Your first post was not uo condemn it but to post up a stupid hypothetical. Why? Because you agree with it. It's your side and your side is always honest and has humanity's best interest at heart.

Rolling my ****ing eyes.

Don't let them have your children. It's a huge risk you are taking and you may regret it for the rest of your life.

There is an active agenda to separate children from their parents and its real and its happening. Get them out of the system. Find a way.

---

LOL. LMAO.

1. That's not happening
2. Ok, it's happening but it's a small fringe group of people
3. Ok, it's happening broadly but it doesn't affect you or your kid so why do you care
4. Ok, it's happening but it's a good thing


That is the lefty sequence of mocking, followed by addressing the reality that was there from the beginning.

You are on step 1.

Oh, no, I'm on step 4.

Not surprised. Liberalism is the enemy of all that is righteous and good.

This is such a silly statement.

The OP is the parent of this child not you. OP is concerned about what his child's school is teaching/showing. This is not Pearl Clutching. It is responsible adulting/parenting.

The only person who seems to want "indoctrination" is you. SMH.

I don't want my kids exposed to the idiocy you espouse.

I'm sure you'd have said the same about little German kids learning about the Jews in school in the 1930s.

Government News Programming in Government Schools.

Makes perfect sense.

If you show anything in school, show CNBC. It's mainly about the economy/markets etc. with some "political" stuff thrown in there. As a conservative, I find them to be pretty good.

Stuff like this has been around forever. I grew up when they were installing the Channel One TV's in all the classrooms. That was where Anderson Cooper got his start. I have no idea how/if the show was slanted. It was junior high. You were more concerned about the pretty girl next to you that had changed from a tomboy over the summer. Different times. I do recognize that kids think about different things these days though.

They are hearing propaganda and they are at an impressionable age. The intent of the people doing this is to promote their evil agenda.

At this point I have watched about 5 or 6 episodes and I think all but one has had segment that had a climate change element to one of the stories they highlighted. Seems like a pretty focused indoctrination agenda to me. I tend to agree that they haven't been overly anti Israel but there was one episode I watched where it talked about Israel's bombs killing children in Gaza and then showed Palestinians digging through rubble to try and find their dead children. I wasn't a fan of that being shown to my 10 year old.

On a lighter note....

I was delightfully surprised to find a well-known Mexican restaurant, locally owned, with the giant screen TV featuring newsmax this morning.

Yes they will push the climate change but even Fox News pushes that these days. It might be better for Middle and High School. Again I watch it before hand and won't show it if it's not appropriate or left leaning.

I will say with the new Host Coy Wire, it has gotten more Climate change friendly. I will keep an eye on it because I don't want anyone to suggest I am indoctornating anyone.

When I taught HS SS I showed both PragerU and CNN10, I didnt watch either daily but I used them as sources if I found episodes that adequately covered given topics.

I also used many other video sources to discuss as a class or assign to kids to get them to breakdown and write a description of topics learned

Cool thanks for checking in.

My 5th grade daughter told me they watch CNN 10 every day in school. I had never heard of this so watched a few episodes. It's a 10 minute news program made for kids (you can go watch it online for free if you like). I'm going to watch some more episodes before I draw a final conclusion but it seems every episode has pretty liberal undertones without directly advocating for liberal causes. The 2 main themes I've noticed are that they seem to (1) demonize fossil fuels / promote climate change / green agenda and (2) sympathize with the Palestinians.

I expressed my concerns about this content not being right for 10 year olds and her teacher offered to let her opt out of watching but that doesn't seem like the right solution so I'm scratching my head at next steps. Am I wrong to think this type of crap should not be in our schools, particularly at such a young age?

For reference: I live in a pretty deep red district in Texas.

---

Request your child watch Fox news only...or maybe even just Tucker.

Why are 10 year olds even being exposed to media in this way at school?

Old Army Metal said:

Point being, despite your b**chy response there are plenty of conservative HS teachers who use numerous sources to get points across to kids and to think PragerU isnt ever shown like folks above mentioned is idiocy.

the alphabet soups at public schools would flip their collective lids if anti-socialist truths from Prager U were ever shown to children at government institutions like public schools

Actually Prager U is ok for a (R)eason

7 or 8 years ago I used to show it when Carl Azuz was the host. Back then they presented issues with both sides of stories. Maybe that's why he is gone.

The recent Israeli/Palestine video showed the perspectives of both Israeli and Palestinian children. I haven't noticed any bias on any of the other videos either. Just because these videos cover political topics doesn't mean they have a political bias.

I showed it up until at least 2018 and he was there...is he not anymore?

My problem with showing 5th graders the video I saw was not political. The video started with a warning about how "this may be difficult to watch" and then proceeded to talk about how Israel bombs had SM destroyed Palestinians homes and killed children and it showed Palestinians digging through rubble looking for survivors. That is not content for 5th graders. The only reason I even know my daughter was watching this is she came home and talked about how scared she was that the war would come here so I started asking questions.

Now, the continuous climate change crap, that is political and it's indoctrination. Today it was a story about how warmer water and less of it in the rivers of Brazil was destroying lives due to climate change. I saw one from last week that demonized fossil fuels. Saw another one where it talked about how we need to convert the entire maritime industry to renewables. It seems like 2/3 of the episodes have a 3 minute segment with a climate change theme. My sample size is still small, but it feels obvious that they are pushing this multiple days a week at least.

After watching the Surprise attack on Israel episode, I agree with this. On the list of things I find objectionable about public schools, CNN 10 is pretty far down it.

Conservative parents should be embracing this. Kids that age are malleable and still willing to talk to and listen to you. Instead of trying to stop it talk to them every day about what they saw and heard and offer an alternative perspective. Teach them how to think critically about what they hear on the news and how to research issues on their own. My daughter was terrified of guns in her early HS days and we had significant arguments over gun rights with me always citing facts and statistics and the historical context of the Second Amendment until eventually she got it. Liberals don't debate because the facts are never on their side. Don't be a liberal. Let you kids hear the insanity then talk to them about the other side of the issue. Use it as a starting point for a fact based discussion.

While it is something that I would hope to not have my kids exposed to (currently 2 YO and one on the way), it actually seems like a really easy way to bring up and discuss counterpoints to a bit of the propaganda that is going to hit your kid. It's going to come from somewhere these days, even in private school for one's who spoke of that as their solution. The difference is, it will usually come from their textbook, or a lecture, which without really long daily conversations with them about school (how many kids really want to do that) you won't get the details of.

It seems like an easy opportunity to watch that program yourself daily and set aside a few minutes to discuss it from your point of view and encourage them to think about and reach their own conclusions and perhaps even research for themselves a bit. This will do more to instigate that type of discussion and maybe even help to provide a defense against this sort of propaganda for the rest of their lives!

You are correct, as long as they are grooming them in a fashion I find ok, I'm for it. No sense in trying to pretend otherwise.
